º£½ÇÉçÇø

From the Director

Welcome to the º£½ÇÉçÇø Energy Institute—

For decades, º£½ÇÉçÇø has provided trusted research and analysis to secure Louisiana’s energy future. This legacy of service to the state was recently elevated and accelerated through º£½ÇÉçÇø’s Scholarship First Agenda, where energy is a top priority for research. In response, and building on our history, º£½ÇÉçÇø has launched the Energy Institute to unify and expand several longstanding programs and create a more integrated platform for data, analysis, and applied research—helping policymakers, industry partners, and communities navigate an evolving energy landscape with confidence and clarity.

As part of this transition, the Center for Energy Studies, the Institute for Energy Innovation, and the Louisiana Geological Survey are in the process of reorganizing under a unified Energy Institute. Together, these efforts strengthen º£½ÇÉçÇø’s ability to deliver independent, policy-relevant insights while expanding our capacity to innovate, serve the people of Louisiana, and ensure investments in energy research create lasting impact.

We look forward to working with you as we continue º£½ÇÉçÇø’s long-standing mission of service to the state and its people.
